Abstract:

Abbey House of Franklinton was one of the many civilian women who voluntarily nursed the sick and wounded during the Civil War. Originally featured in Land We Love (May/June 1867), a monthly magazine edited by former Confederate General D. H. Hill, “Aunt” Abby traveled without charge on the South's railroads and hitchhiked to battlefields to offer her assistance. She was also a regular visitor to the rail yards of Franklinton, greeting the trains that brought wounded soldiers back to North Carolina.
